Legal or illegal bet: guide to identifying authorized platforms in Brazil

oglobo9 September 2026 at 09:00

Legal sports betting platforms in Brazil can be easily identified by their web address, which must end in .bet.br. This is the main characteristic of companies regulated by the Federal Government, the only ones considered safe for Brazilian consumers. Illegal platforms lack this certification and pose risks to users.

BetMGM is mentioned as one of the companies participating in the collective effort to consolidate a safer and more responsible regulated market in Brazil. The company operates exclusively in regulated markets and offers responsible gambling tools that go beyond regulatory requirements, seeking to expand consumer protection.

The article highlights that spreading this basic information about how to identify authorized platforms has been a challenge for Brazilian betting companies. The goal is to expand information and consumer protection, ensuring that bettors can make safe choices.

The presented premise is that betting should be viewed as entertainment and be part of leisure and fun moments. Responsible gambling is treated as a central principle of BetMGM, which seeks to help players maintain control over their activities on betting platforms.

Equity capital strengthened to 135.5 million euros, while the operating result stood at 32.4 million. Excluding the player rights component, operating revenue reached 214.4 million euros, a 7% decline justified by the absence of extraordinary Club World Cup revenue.
